My wife, I, and our two adult daughters shared this home visiting town for a family event. What a wonderful, tranquil, setting. Nearby on Bayshore, you might see peacocks running about - our daughter did on a run. This property was everything that was advertised. And its close to great seafood and cuban cuisine. We'll definitely put this place on the top of our list for a future visit.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The owner was responsive and cooperative. The home was very comfortable and the screened pool area was most inviting
This home was exactly as described. Convenient location made getting everywhere a breeze. The owner was very responsive to questions. We enjoyed the pool and spa daily! Thank you!
A great place for a family with kids that love a pool . Lovely quiet neighborhood close to Ringling and Sarasota Jungle Gardens . Close to Tamaiami for easy drives to downtown ,siesta key and St Armand’s . Clean and spacious with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay even if you never leave the property .
Our family loved your house and location. The children loved the pool and played in it for hours.
My suggestion would be to install grab-bars in the showers.
Very nice clean house. Everything we needed was supplied including pool towels, great selection of cookware, clean and comfortable bedding and nice big screen TVs! Close to downtown and a short drive to the beach. We’ll definitely return.
Our family was staying at the home because our daughter was getting married at the Powell Crosley Estate. It was so convenient to the venue and other places around Sarasota. The home was beautiful and stocked very well. The pool and hot tub was wonderful since it was so hot during our stay. The check in process was easy and Inna communicated with us very well. No complaints. We would definitely stay there again.
Stylishly updated home with pool. We were there for 5 nights and only went out once to Las Olas to shop and dine. Kitchen was fully equipped with all we needed, we brought too much. We were a group of 6 women aged 74. I think the house is perfect for younger families, but we would have appreciated more towel racks and a handrail to exit the pool. Generous host provided a wonderful home.
My family and I stayed at this beautiful home after we decided to extend our vacation a few days due to Tropical Storm Debby. The communication with Inna was fast and top notch! We were excited to see the house in person and were amazed when we walked in the door. The entire house was beautiful and we loved the open concept of the living area, dining room, and kitchen. The kids and I were in and out of the pool pretty much every day. The house is located close to downtown Sarasota and lots of great places to eat, but it is also very close to grocery shopping for cooking and grilling at the house. I’d highly recommend this house to anyone and everyone… you won’t be disappointed at all! If we’re ever back in the area, we’d try booking here again. A+++
Check in was easy. The house was nice and host was responsive. However, we weren't aware that some of the listed amenities weren't either working or onsite until after the house was booked or after arrival. We were expecting an outdoor fan on the patio, which would have been great to create a breeze while outside. Unfortunately, after booking I learned the outdoor and indoor fan were broken. The futon from the photos had been damaged, removed, and not replaced before arrival. We learned this after arrival when we couldn't find it. We had anticipated one of the teenages to sleep there so we had to figure something else out. Lastly, the A/C did not cool very well, particularly in the master bedroom.

We apologize for the bean bag not being available. As mentioned before previous guests had an accident on it and since it was same day turn over we had to toss it quick and order new one vs leaving it smelling up the house during your stay. Certain things are unforeseen. House sleeps 6 in beds and 2 more on sleeper sofa. You had 4 people on the reservation so not sure why there was not enough space to sleep your teen unless there were unauthorized guests staying with you. Fans were damaged during a storm surge which happens often in FL and we did include that detail in the check in details before your arrival. Early check in was also accommodated
The property and the pool were nice. The master bathroom seemed to be a work in progress that was not made known to us before arrival. No shower doors can be a problem. However, the shower door guys arrived one afternoon to re-measure, with no warning. Also, little hand soap, no laundry soap, few towels, no tissues, no propane for the grill. It would have been nice to know before arriving. Otherwise, very nice.
We enjoyed our stay at the house. Having your own heated pool and hot tub was very nice. We liked that the host provided beach towels, bikes, and small amenities like hand soap. I did find that there could have been more washcloths provided. There were only 2 in the entire house. The house was a bit older and upon arrival we noticed some people left some food items so that was disappointing. We did let the host know about that and some other minor issues but they responded quickly and fixed the issues. Other than that our stay was nice. I would suggest putting a door on the master bathroom shower, having it open caused problems when running the shower and water splashed out onto the floor. Overall, a good stay for the price and for the time of year. Very convenient to downtown and within driving distance to the beaches.
This house was everything we were looking for our family vacation, the house has a great location and it was perfect for us, comunicación with Inna was excellent. Highly recommended.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. We are a family of 6 and there was plenty of room for us all. The property was centrally located to the various beaches we wanted to go to as we planned to travel to the northern and southern beaches. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that appears very safe. The kids’ favorite part by far was the pool as they were in there every day. Pictures were very accurate to the property. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Sarasota area with kids.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and had an abundance of extras we were not expecting. The kitchen was amazing, well stocked with new appliances and everything you will need to prepare meals. Private pool was a win especially with the kids, outdoor patio was great too for having lunch before heading back to the pool.
Inna was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with! Beautiful home and very relaxing with a great location. The house was clean, and all the amenities were great for cooking in versus buying dinner each night. If our family plans another trip to Sarasota, we will book this Vrbo again!
Happily married mother of two girls! I spend my time taking care of my home, my kids, managing properties and helping my husband with his business. We strongly believe in treating others as we want to be treated and this flows into the way we set up our vacation rentals. We try to anticipate everyone's needs and truly make our vacation homes into a place anyone can enjoy!
Why they chose this property
Tropical Retreat was chosen with care and thought primarily for its location. It is ideally situated near downtown, water and airport. Everything you might need or want is within a short drive or can easily be delivered straight to the house! Its close to all the excitement but yet tucked away on a quiet street where you can truly relax by the pool surrounded with palm trees...
